Hello doctor,
I recently found out that I am pregnant. I had three shots of vodka a few weeks back unknowingly. Will that affect my baby?
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through your case and understood your concern.
It will not affect your pregnancy, but if you take alcohol regularly then it might affect you. So, I suggest you do not drink alcohol during pregnancy and lactation. Do an ultrasound scan around six to seven weeks and do a nuchal translucency scan around 11 to 13 weeks. Start Folic acid tablets once daily and have more green leafy vegetables and fruits in your diet. Keep yourself hydrated.
I hope this has helped you.
Thanks and regards.
